LEGO Trains is one of the longer running themes that dates back from 1966 and ran up until 2006. During its run there were multiple sets released running on various power platforms from 4.5volt, to 9 and 12 volt sets. Later in 2011 LEGO released additional train sets using RC and Power Functions controllers under different themes like City.
2003 LEGO Sets
In 2003, LEGO faced one of its most challenging financial years, but it also introduced several innovations that would shape the company’s future recovery. The most notable change was the introduction of realistic minifigure skin tones for licensed themes, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Spider-Man, Ferrari, and Basketball. While classic yellow remained the standard for non-licensed minifigures, this shift helped distinguish characters based on real-world figures and franchises, marking a major evolution in LEGO design.
